Legal Privacy? Not for the Anti-gun Bureaucrats - City published personal information of some gun owners

This may backfire on the liberal jerks who tried to embarrass the preacher. If bad guys know you carry, they tend to leave you alone. Anti-gun liberals should, in turn, publish their names and addresses with there resolution not to keep and bear arms. They could also proudly place a sign in the front of their homes to be sure everyone knows how proud they are of their unconstitutional position. m/r

GUN SHY: City published personal information of some gun owners - Philly.com
October 22, 2012|BY WILLIAM BENDER, Daily News 

LAWRENCE ISN'T a violent felon or a stickup artist with a lengthy rap sheet. He's not a drug dealer holding down the corner with a Glock tucked in his waistband, or a straw purchaser selling guns to street thugs.

He's a Philadelphia church pastor and a robbery victim who routinely carries large sums of money and drives a nice car. So he applied for a gun permit last year for his personal protection.

"It's not that I'm thinking God does not walk with me when I go places," Lawrence said. "But anything could happen. We're living in some bad times."

The last thing he expected was for his request for a concealed-carry permit to make its way to the Drudge Report's 1.9 million daily visitors.

Police initially denied Lawrence's application - apparently due to a misdemeanor 40 years ago for which he served no jail time - but he was granted the gun permit in December after he obtained a letter from state police and appealed to the city's Department of Licenses and Inspections.

Then something strange happened: Over the summer , L&I posted on its website Lawrence's full name, address and the specific reasons he wanted the permit - along with an interactive map to help users find their way to his doorstep.
